meaning and industrious. working
hard on their farms during the week
and going rcligiously to church every
Sunday.
II had become a custom in the town
TO observe Easter with rather more Of
religious ceremony than is the practice
in most rural neighborhoods. There
was a little white frame church to
which most Of the families for miles
around came on Easter Sunday for a
special service Of praise and prayer.
1t was always prettiIy decorated. and
our country choir sang its very best.
and the good rector gave one Of his
most carefully-prcpared ermons.
After church we all went home in
the most d%ecorous mannc and there
partook Of a dinner in which eggs APP
peared, served in every conceivable
way. But we boys had but little APP
petite for them, for we were generally
surfeitcd with eggs before Easter Sum
day dawned.
1t was the custom for all the boys in
the neighborhood to assemble At some
appointed place in the woods on the
Saturday night before Easter, and
there cook and eat eggs. How the Gus
tom originated / don't know. and now
question somewhat whether il was
quite judicious in parents to allow
It. Nevertheless, the consent Of the
parents was generally given. and the
place selected for eating our eggs was

ALSACE-LORRAINE.

Revival of the Rumor that the Provinces Are
to lie Thrown in n state of Siege.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, May 28.-The rumor that .Alsace-
Lorraine is he placed in a state of siege is re-
vived- The probability is that Bismarck would
like to push his coercion policy and rule by mar
tial law. Happily for the French residents,
there is Ministry of Germans in the two pro-
vinces to whom the prospect of military coer-
cion is not agreeable AS things are, Prince
Hohenlohe is little short of dictator. He would
like to take education out of the hands
tho clergy and establish a system of secular ed
ucation. It is doubtful whether that would
have the desired Germanizing tendency Bis
marcks Reichsland policy has greatly enhanced
Boulanger's popularity It has also Immensely
added to President Crews difficulties ia form
ing a Cabinet without the aid of party of the
revanche. The moro stable elements in French
society do not want war yet The scenes of suf-
fering OF 1901 still vivid in their MEM
which may yet prove a stum bling block to that
indefinitely prolonged period Of rest much
desired by President Grevy.
The increasing infirmitios of the aged EN-
peror William, the illness of Bismarck and the
Crown Prince, the death OF the Red Prince and
the Count Won Mantenffel and the inability of
Count Won Moltke, at his advanced age have
virtually left the German army without head
who could revive the herosm and endurance dis
PLAYED by the German army in 1901.
Official statements show that 40, 254 persons
left Alsace- Lorraine between the years 1880 and
1885, while. during the same period, there was a
German influx OF sc, 598.
